In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked.

Is this this the intended behavior? And if so is there any way to disable it?

Thanks

Chosen solution

Middle-clicking a tab closes it, while middle-clicking an empty area of the tab bar opens a new tab.

Different behavior is probably caused by a tab-related add-on like Tab Mix Plus. If you're not sure if you have such an add-on, restart Firefox with add-ons disabled and check if the problem still occurs.

Turns out it was the plugin Colorful Tabs v23.5 that was causing the problem for me. I disabled it and everything is working as expected now.
